New York City authorities continue their fight to publicly disclose the cause and manner of death of Zachery Tims, the former senior pastor of New Destiny Christian Center (NDCC) in Apopka, Fla. Tims’ August death remains a mystery to the public as the legal battle between the minister’s family and the City continues.
The lawyers representing New York City and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) claimed in paperwork filed Friday, Jan. 27 that the minister’s mother, Madeline Tims, acting as the representative of Tims’ estate, has no legal standing to prevent officials from releasing the information on the cause of the pastor’s death.
